1906	John Shackleton scores the only goal of his Tottenham career, while Chris Carrick gets the last one of his.
1917	Basset scores four goals - the equal highest number of goals by a single player for Spurs v Orient.

1951	Len Duquemin's hat trick helps Spurs record their equal highest home win over West Bromwich Albion.
1954	Ted Ditchburn plays his 247th consecutive match - a club record - in front of the smallest away crowd for a Spurs game against Manchester City = 9,984
1956	With the semi-final going the way of Manchester City, captain Danny Blanchflower made a change to push Maurice Norman into attack. The ploy did not pay off and the manager was irate that he had taken things into his own hands, while the directors were vindicated in their thinking that he could not be trusted to obey orders. When similar moves had worked in the past, nothing had been said !!

2001	David Pleat, in charge of the team following George Graham's dismissal from the club, guides Spurs to a win over Coventry City.
